Gan Ainm

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Gan Ainm is an Irish hornpipe in 4/4 time and G major, with the Gaelic title simply translating to nameless. Because the tune's specific composer and exact historical origins are not recorded, it survives as a traditional instrumental piece passed down through generations. It features the steady rhythm, lively character, and ornamented phrasing typical of traditional Irish dance music played on instruments like the fiddle or flute.
